PAN backers not afraid of tractor<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Amien Rais would have never reached the podium to
\naddress his National Mandate Party (PAN) in North Jakarta on
\nWednesday if not for the help of a tractor.<\/p>\n
The car that carried Amien to Sunter soccer field could not
\nmove because of the sea of PAN supporters seeking to get a
\nglimpse of their chairman.<\/p>\n
A supporter who came to the rally on a tractor had a good
\nidea: Plowing a path through the crowd for Amien. The trick was
\neffective, forcing people to make way for Amien's car.<\/p>\n
But the tractor was only able to reach the soccer field and
\ncould not lead Amien all the way to the podium because people
\ninside the arena did not seem worried by the prospect of being
\nrun over by a tractor.<\/p>\n
After finally reaching the stage, Amien only addressed
\nsupporters for three minutes. He hastily excused himself, saying
\nhe had "run out of voice" after two weeks of campaigning, Antara
\nreported.<\/p>",
